The purpose of the organization is to encourage, develop and promote the sports of track & field, cross country, long distance running, and race walking throughout the territory of USA Track & Field - Ohio Association (most of the state of Ohio). We are one of 56 associations of the USA Track & Field Organization, the National governing body for track & field in the United States. Our organization exercises the independent jurisdiction, supervision, and control over the administration, eligibility, representation, rules of competition, scheduling, and sanctioning for the sports of track & field, cross country, long distance running an race walking within our association. This is accomplished by our volunteer officers of the association and various sports committees, and by hundreds of other volunteers.
